Most of the MPGC students will graduate at Mainz University. The approval for graduation and studentship is independent from the admission by the MPGC boards.
After handing in your application form we will let you know if a professor or group leader in your desired research field is ready to offer you a PhD project and to become your supervisor. If so, you will be asked by the MPGC staff to hand in your full application documents to the International Office of Mainz University. Here, they will be checked for eligibility. The application fee will be reimbursed to you by the MPGC. Please check for details on the requested documents at the International Office's website in the box on the right.
In case of an approval you are eligible to graduate in the MPGC and can also become registered PhD student at Mainz University.
The student fee to be paid by yourself per term (twice a year) is a bit more than 200 EUR and includes free public transport in Mainz, Wiesbaden and the Rhein-Main region (to Frankfurt and beyond).
